What size battery do I need for my camper van?

14 Mar 2025

Choosing the right LiFePO4 battery capacity for your camper van ensures reliable power for adventures. Here’s how to calculate your needs in three steps:

 1.Calculate Daily Energy Consumption

List all appliances (fridge, lights, chargers) and their wattage. Multiply each device’s wattage by hours used daily, then sum them for total watt-hours (Wh).

Example: A 50W fridge running 24 hours = 1,200Wh.

 2.Determine Battery Capacity

LiFePO4 batteries allow 80-100% depth of discharge (DoD). Convert total Wh to amp-hours (Ah):

Ah = Total Wh ÷ Battery Voltage (12V/24V) ÷ DoD. Add a 20-30% buffer for unexpected needs.

 3.Match Your Usage Scenarios

Weekend trips: 100-200Ah + solar panels.

Off-grid living: 300Ah+ with solar/alternator charging.

High-power devices (AC/induction cookers): Opt for 24V systems.

 Pro Tips

1.Prioritize modular batteries for future expansion.

2.Pair with solar to maximize energy independence.

3.Choose smart BMS for safety and longevity.

 A 200-300Ah LiFePO4 battery suits most campers, balancing cost and performance. Plan wisely, and enjoy limitless freedom on the road!
